    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    I agree with you that heaven and hell begin as a mindset. We become children of the kingdom even though we haven't physically been there yet... In the meantime we are ambassadors in a foreign land under the cruel tyranny of a usurper who no longer legally runs it. But soon praise God the...

    @Marymog The principle concept behind baptism is burial. And you don't bury people unless they're dead. Again, read Romans 6. Sprinkling simply doesn't cut it. Neither does a living infant who cannot voluntarily surrender his life into the hands of another.

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    Do you have a scripture to confirm that the soul of anyone is a separate cognizant being without the spirit or the flesh? I mean, it opens up a lot of questions. Without the brain how does the soul think, speak, see, hear, touch, or feel? Without the breath (Spirit) how does it breathe...

    If you want to keep up to date with earthquakes and even predictions... Watch.

    Bible Translation Study

    Currently we're all so focused on covid as a prophetic indicator, has anyone noticed the last months figures for earthquakes? There have been a series of deep very serious earthquakes all around the Pacific and through Indonesia. So deep the damage was minimal... But concerning nevertheless. The...

    Your Thoughts: Are The NT/OT Gods "Different"?

    You are a very confused person.

    From the Catholic Douay Rheims Bible... Exodus 20:4-5 [4]Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. [5]Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am...

    Who founded your church?

    My entire point is that in scripture there is no example of anyone being baptized without witnesses. Thus baptism, in every example given in scripture, even with Christ Himself, was an act wherein the one being baptized was publicly testifying to his commitment to a new life in Christ. If you...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    In discussions of this nature and this topic, I tend to revert to two points of argument that at least to me, are incontrovertible. The first, and to me the most important, centers on the character of God. I've mentioned this many times in the past, but I have yet to be convinced of any error...

    Bible study Mary?? If that were really so you wouldn't twist the text to suit your argument. Verse 38 speaks of going down into the water. Not only does that mean no sprinkling, but means that there was no curtain raised so no-one else could watch. When you read scripture Mary you are permitted...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Interesting observation. I would like to offer a further perspective. Israel, whilst in Egypt, were in bondage... Slavery to very hard taskmasters. Then came the Passover... The type to Calvary. When the destroying angel visited those homes, he didn't look at the characters and lifestyles of...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    I would say that simple physics answers that. When the fuel (bodies) runs out, so will the fire. See? Simple.

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    It's amazing how the imagination can compromise biblical integrity in order to justify preconceived opinions.

    Who founded your church?

    Indeed He did. A holy church. A church with only one Master... One head, even Christ Himself. Sadly, one small branch of that holy church divorced itself from her Husband by making another... The emperor and other kings of the earth in unholy relationships which resulted in the wicked use of...

    Who founded your church?

    You need to dig a lot deeper rather than superficially scratching the surface and coming to a conclusion based on hope rather than truth. Did not Papal Rome inherit its seat, its power, and great authority from pagan Rome? Revelation 13:2 And the beast (Antichrist) which I saw was like unto a...

    Who founded your church?

    The Catholic Church meets all the criteria, yes. It is impossible for Protestant churches to meet all the criteria. Some of the criteria go back nearly 2000 years...as you say, Protestantism as an institution is a relatively recent phenomenon. They do meet some of the criteria, some more so...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    While it should most certainly concern us regarding our ultimate destiny, I think it also important to understand the true Bible doctrine regarding the state of the dead currently. All around us we have demonic forces teaching mankind through various agencies such as Hollywood and education...

    Where is hell? Where is heaven?

    Decapitation is an amusing pastime for those who know everything.

    Who founded your church?

    No, as there are many individual Catholics living up to the best light they have and are sincere Christians who love Jesus. So while the denomination as a whole isn't of Antichrist, the system of sacramentalism and ritualism, her history and dogmas, her roots and ambitions, and the prophetic...

    Who founded your church?

    Mary, I suggested you read Romans chapter 6. You clearly didn't, believing your knowledge of you own church's false theories would suffice. 1 ¶ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3...
